JobsOhio launches new Clean Ohio Fund program
The Clean Ohio Fund, which has distributed nearly $400 million in grants to encourage the remediation of brownfields across the state since 2002, is being reorganized under JobsOhio, The Columbus Dispatch reports (See our March 01, 2013, blog post for more information). Among other changes, JobsOhio plans to focus on loan support for projects. The new JobsOhio program will commit $43 million a year to cleanup projects across the state that promise to "create businesses and jobs." Housing projects will not be eligible for support under the reorganized program. JobsOhio expects that it will make program funding available on a rolling basis starting in March, the article said.
